Music for Children & Young People
Through a broad and ever-evolving range of holiday courses, weekly projects and weekend events, and our Saturday Junior conservatoire, Trinity Laban engages with many hundreds of children and young people annually, from South East London and beyond.
This is further supported by a huge programme of work with schools, bringing performances and workshops into schools, and school students to our shows, concerts, and rehearsals.
Our mission is to engage with and inspire young people from all backgrounds and experiences, to enthuse and equip them to progress as musicians and artists now and into the future.
For those aged 16+ and considering higher education training at Trinity Laban, you can also attend free performances, workshops and talks at two Open Days each year or send questions via our enquiry form.
